Question Suggestions on a small cheep gaming server

[VasInklingGR]

I have choose some parts in Pc part picker, if this is good enough tell me but if you can optimize it and if you can make it a bit cheaper it will help

It will have Ubuntu and it will run a Minecraft server for now (no I'm not a 10 year old I just still like the game better then fortnite)

Help would be appreciated. Thank you

I suppose you would fall into the "Adequate" category -- https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Server/Requirements/Dedicated#Unix_.28Linux.2C_BSD.2C_Mac_OSX.29

Have you though about buying a used Dell desktop? They have a lot of factory refurb machines with better specs than what you list for around $350.

Wow I diden't think of that. Thank you I found one on eBay for 100$ with a 1tb hard drive, Intel core 2 duo and 4gb ram. Pretty good for a first server

As long as you are happy. I would have spent a few more $$$ to get a much newer box, but as long as you are happy that is what is important.

I think your new one is OK, but you don't need the cooler
The money saved on the cooler can go into better/more ram 2x4gb 3200
PSU is not that great - even though its Seasonic - it's actually isn't a great one.
